In the section of the Bible called Psalms, chapter 33 the writer describes the creation of the Universe in which God is said to "breathe stars". What!!!?? We thought that was crazy cool. The same God that breathes stars created a tree that produces a fruit with a seed that is roasted and then brewed to make a beverage (thank you God!). Could coffee be as complex as a star? We think so! Starbreather Espresso. A blend of incredibly flavorful coffees that tastes as big as a star.

Context

Sourced from the Dipilto region of Nicaragua, Starbreather Espresso is a washed-process offering from Giv Coffee. This selection features the Caturra varietal, a plant widely recognized for its adaptability and consistent cup quality. By utilizing the washed processing method, the roaster highlights a clean, structured profile that emphasizes the inherent characteristics of the bean.

In the cup, this espresso presents a classic, comforting profile defined by notes of dark chocolate, raisin, and almond, supported by a notably viscous body. While individual experiences can vary, those looking to better understand the nuances of such profiles may find the flavor wheel a helpful tool for identifying these specific sensory markers. As a washed-process coffee, this lot avoids the intense fermentation characteristics sometimes found in natural-processed coffees, instead favoring a balanced, approachable clarity that makes it a versatile choice for espresso preparation.
